The Shane Warnes of Football: Overweight players

Winny

You just know it wont end well after the footy stops

"Polly" Farmer always looked fat . He could play a bit though.

 

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

Luke Hodge

Nah, Lite 'n' Easy sorted that right out.

 

[AlcoaCat]

Tom Porkins.

It's a cute nickname, but he's not and never has been a porker. He's just a big, big man.

On the subject of fatties, Motlop returned in 2016 looking like he'd eaten a cow. It was actually quite funny.

What an amazing pic! Moobs and a bow window. Wouldn't have believed until I saw it.

Who the hell is that?

He's already got his nomination earlier in the thread.

Glenn Archer always struck me as a bit of a chubber. As eptimosied in this lovely true to life sketch from some dude on Southbank promenade....

Hawkins probably based off this pic of him


Motlop and Clark both also rocked up a little portly

Daisy Thomas broke jack watts leg because he's so fat.

 

[PhatBoy]

Tom Porkins.

I’ve never really understood this view.

The guy is f***ing enormous, no question, but that’s the inevitable result when you have someone with that amount of sheer bulk and muscle who has to virtually inject himself into his playing strip.

Motlop and Clarke look way fatter to be honest. The Hawkins photo has one little roll - and it’s obviously well out of season based on the zinc and the outfit

One could have been a great, but didn't make it was the ex-royboy Brendan McCormack.

 

[peternorth]

Steven may arrived out of shape according to Lewis. Lewis added “he (may) wouldn’t be happy with that”.

If he wasn’t why turn up in that manner?

Brian Lake was as fat as a house in his last season or 3, and Podgy Hodgy got his little pot belly back in 2019

 

[Cotchins Hair Piece]

Luke Podge was festively plump in his last couple of seasons.

Stewie Dew is the proud president of the FPA.

Wayne Harmes was one of those blokes who looked like a fat bastard, but it didn't slow him down one bit. Gun player.

 

[Erick_the_Greatest]

Sydney Swans Football Club

AFL fattened them right up for 20 years by force feeding them COLA and academy advantages, which the Swans gleefully accepted without the slightest semblance of guilt

Haven’t they thinned out quickly since the AFL removed the feeding tube

I will never, ever forget: 3rd quarter, 08 GF, when an undersized 3rd string forward and a fat retiree beat 3 of the cream of the Geelong backline to goal. Pure determination defeating the cocky Favourites. Summed that game up in 30 seconds.

Maurice Rioli had a paunch as did quite a few of the clan, obesity was a big part of why Francis (RIP) past away far to early.

 

[footyfan1978]

Wayne Harmes was a chunky dynamic back pocket when I first started following the game. But about 8 years later the chunkiness seemed to be turning into being overweight. He was past his prime by mid 80's and probably cost himself another 50 to 100 games in a career.
